"Seems like the rumors were true, Google Base has launched this morning an is now accepting content. At first glance, Google Base may not be the 'eBay Killer' everyone was beefing it up to be, but it will get there soon," says Search Engine Journal.
"The Google Blog has also officially announced the launch of Google Base, along with testimonials from sites which has a chance to test it. 'Google Base enables content owners to easily make their information searchable online. Anyone, from large companies to website owners and individuals, can use it to submit their content in the form of data items. We'll host the items and make them searchable for free'."
The big US publications were prebriefed, so there are conditional reports like the one in The New York Times: "On Tuesday evening, Google, the dominant Web search site, was planning to introduce a service called Base, which it said was intended to permit Internet users to upload files and other information to Google's servers and make them searchable by category" etc.
